Some people miss emails. By mistake or because they are super occupied and overloaded.  If you're in a rush, It is a good practice not to depend solely on email. Go and talk, send a text message, or use the ultimate way to grab someone's attention - pick up a phone and call.  If someone didn't get what you mean by email, so call. If you wish to make sure everything goes well, so call. If you wish to resolve something quickly, so call. Don't send emails and wait for them to answer. Use the phone in its traditional use. Speak. 🤙

An interview depends on the identity of the interviewer.  While HR wish to see if you are reliable, the direct manager will put more emphsis on skills and the owner will tend to make a basic calculation of invest and return - will you justify your paycheck. That is way you should show that: 1. You are a reliable person. 2. You are  skilled. 3. You are worth it.  What's your story. The most important is to have a story. If you where fired or left a job - you have to give a good story.  A positive and reliable story.  No blames.  No conflicts.  A story that will show once again that your are a good person to work with and you will fit in any position for long term.  While you have to say the truth, you don't have to say the entire truth. What's your experience. You should learn how to describe your experience in the best way. Short and to the main points.

So me workers, even bosses, feel they have to do everything themselves. It is excellent to know how to do the job. But it takes time and in general, it is a bad habit.  A good worker will create a team around him.  A good worker will know how and what to explain so others can complete tasks.  Know how to do everything by yourself But – Don’t try to do everything by yourself.   Explain to colleagues and freelancers, use your time wisely and  multiply your deliveries with the help of others.

  Being able to be fast is great. Most people move slowly. Waiting. taking their time. What makes people move slowly? Laziness, fear, carelessness. I guess. Fast people don’t wait.   They will move quickly even while knowing the process will get stuck at some point. Experienced fast-people will know how to push the right spots in order to make slow people move fast, without making the slow people angry at them, specifically Don’t overthink.  Too much power is being wasted on “making sure”. Mistakes happen also for slow people. Hire fast, try fast, buy fast, sell fast.  No rush. No hurry. Just being quick. 

 We've just finished a mentoring session at work (The mentoring was mandatory). An experienced businessman tried to coach by asking great questions but failed to make people share real challenges. Everyone agreed there is a lot to improve but no one volunteered to bring up anything they or their boss are in charge of.  So eventually everyone just nodded, kept quiet, and promised themselves to take revenge on the one who made them sit fully aware in case someone might focus on their mistakes .  I love mentoring. People pay for mentoring. But at work mentoring can't work. You can coach, you can teach methods, but you cannot mentor. A group of people at work won't share what is needed for mentoring - unless they really trust each other and share the same interests. Maybe. Mentoring is great for one on one. For a group - bring a coach or send us to a nice brunch at a cafe.
